Yes, you are correct. But for some fields, I need to alter some of them to another field type before doing CURSORTOXML(). So when I do XMLTOCURSOR(), I still need to remember the fields I have to convert back to their original field type. If CREATE FORM and CREATE REPORT can do the same as CREATE CLASSLIB, then I don't have to bother remembering which to revert.

I guess there is no other way huh?

Thanks

From XML back to the original state, I would like just to do some form of CREATE FORM or CREATE REPORT similar to CREATE CLASSLIB which creates the table structure. Then, I can just do an APPEND FROM.
